The key will join the other keys, haha

Thanks very much ,ladies. MSC, I bought all the metals from some factories in China, I grabbed their contacts from a big jewel show , and occasionally will check their catalogue and make order. The shell setting is 6USD/each. I think can negotiate to 5ish if bulk-buy, but it is just my hobby...

Thanks Karman, I wear that GSSPwith the 18K gold bow a lot. It goes well with many clothes. It is a cute piece.

New settings I did yesterday This is my first try to set big FWP baroque (Edison), very difficult to drill and very difficult to set on gold plated silver. But I like challenge. Will definitely buy more baroque pearls and try different style of settings. The Tahitian drop was bought...

New projects The two round freshwater strands with silver spacers is an aggressive try. The supplier of the spacers only allows bulk buy,at least 200 spacers/order, so I ended up with lots spacers, and they are expensive , and now I have to cut two other strands to apply those spacers....I am...

In the first month of 2017, bought one round silver Tahitian, 15.9mm, and one round GSS ,15.8mm. One 9-9.5 akoya necklace . I have another necklace with the same silver dragon clasp, the dragon looks very sharp. Also bought two AAA+ freshwater necklaces, one white and one very light lavender(...

The big and small mixture is so clever!

Sure, MSC dyed grey 3-3.5mm, white baroque style 12-13mm (one strand), amethysts round,these are yours. Would you like to have those lavender pearls too? Also choose the clasp, which one to go with the amethyst beads? They are all S925 silver. Golden colour are alsogold plated silver. left...

Great idea, JerseyPearl I have some loose round amethysts left, 6mm,not very good grade though. If anyone wants to try with these, can take them too. Gone

Missed this post during holiday. I have not seen live akoya oyster , but I have tried the live freshwater mussel opening service. Here is the experience:Last November, during one trip, I was stranded in Singapore Changi Airport, 6 hours waiting... I was bored to death in the lounge so I hopped...

Finally finished cleaning my toolbox last weekend. Found some loose pearls that have been left there for more than a year. Perhaps it is better to give them away. Anyone who has some ideas to use them in your beading projects, please take them,take them all. Free. Postage is also on me. Will...

from a book" 20000 leagues under the sea", mentioned the pearling in Mannar I was amazed by the description in the book about the pearls, "a pearl worth ten million" Well, Gulf of Mannar doesnt produce that kind of giant pearls, very famous for pearl fishery though.

Fabulous!!!

Wish you all a prosperous new year! Made some small gifts for friends and a little girl.

Made a few other pieces today,:)

done!

This akoya necklace was a gift from ex. I have never worn it. Felt soooo gooooood when I cut it today :cool Spent 1.5 hour to bead it with the silver bird, and one south sea pearl. while watching 3 episodes of The Odd Couple.

Merry Christmas to all! Almost forgot to reply this post. The top two( big white and small white) are south sea pearls Lavender , Golden and medium white one are fresh water Edison Pearls.

JerseyPearl, Great advice! Thanks so much.

I use double threads ,so only need to do one knot. It is like a half square knot. Just started making a bracelet, took some pic of the knotting technique that I am using. Please have a look. There may be other more effective techniques, I found this one works for me.
